Year 1 had a wonderful time on Friday enjoying the sunshine while being interviewed by Year 5. As part of their Geography learning, Year 5 pupils asked thoughtful questions to discover how our Year 1 children travel to school. It was a lovely opportunity for collaboration, with both year groups learning from each other 

In our recent learning, we explored the Christian belief in eternal life. We looked at the symbols used during a funeral Mass and discussed how these connect to baptism and the resurrection of Jesus. We also considered why funerals are important to Christians and linked our discussions to key virtues.

In RHE, Year One created beautiful crosses and labelled them to reflect their understanding of the Holy Trinity.

In Science this week, we began our new topic on how plants reproduce. The children enjoyed a practical lesson investigating the different parts of a plant and learning about their functions. Using tulips, complete with stems, leaves and flowers, the children carefully observed the outside of the plant before dissecting it to explore its structure in more detail. It was a fantastic hands-on lesson that sparked curiosity and enthusiasm for our new topic.
